Garlic Lime Shrimp Tacos

Hello Everyone,

So, I just thought I would do a weekend recap for this post, as well as share with you my new recipe! This weekend was spent being very laaazzzzyy. Mr. SP and I had BIG plans to finish up our little landscaping project and do a few other chores around Chateau Sweet Potato. At 11am Saturday morning, Mr. SP announced, “In 1 hr I have to get to work.” I spent the morning catching up on my blog reading before I decided to take a shower. Approximately 5 HRS LATER, Mr. SP was still sitting on the couch, Castlevilling (have you heard of this game on Facebook?). Oh well, some weekends are like that, and it was still pretty great.

Sunday included more entertainment. We finally watched Snowwhite and the Huntsman! I really loved it, but somehow I just can’t move past Kristen’s Twilight character. I fear I will never be able to watch any of her movies without wishing it was the 5th (and 6th, and 7th…) Twilight.

Make sure your shrimp is thawed all the way. If not, follow the directions on the package for thawing. Usually this will mean putting the shrimp in a strainer under cold running water 5 – 7 minutes.

Step 2:

Pour shrimp in a large bowl to toss with ingredients. Add the lime juice, seafood seasoning, paprika, fresh dill (optional), the rest of the chopped scallions, garlic, red pepper flakes (optional), and the salt and pepper. Stir all ingredients together and allow to marinate for approximately 5 minutes.

Step 3:

While the shrimp is marinating, prepare a skillet over medium – low heat. Add the olive oil, half the garlic, and the bulb part of the scallions to the pan.

Step 4:

After the shrimp has marinated and the pan has heated, pour the shrimp into the pan. Sautee the shrimp for about 5 – 7 minutes, or until no longer pink.

Step 5:

Remove the pan from the burner. Fill the tortillas with the shrimp and any other toppings as desired. Enjoy!

These were absolutely DEEE-licious and so easy to make! I topped mine with fresh tomatoes, onion, spinach, and a little salsa. I paired it with steamed broccoli. The hubby approved!

How do you like to spend your weekend? Jam-packed with tons of stuff to do or lazying around the house with no agenda?
